JAKARTA - The percentage of battery in a smartphone is arguably needed to be able to estimate when your smartphone should be charged. In addition, the battery percentage also functions so that you can be in case at any time you are working on something very important but the smartphone suddenly turns off.

Maybe, on all Android smartphones you can change the option to show battery percentage, but not with iOS devices.

As TechCrunch notes, this battery indicator actually made its debut in the iPhone 3GS era, but it disappeared around the iPhone X or iOS 11 era in 2017.

But now, Apple brings back the battery indicator for iOS 16. But, the indicator will not appear by default on your device, you have to enable it first in settings.

But if you have an iPhone 13 and are still using iOS 15, you can do the following ways to see your battery percentage.

View Battery Percentage in Control Center

The fastest way to display the battery percentage is to go to Control Center. Swipe down from the top right corner of your iPhone 13 screen to do so. You will see your iPhone 13 battery percentage right next to the battery icon in the status bar.

Add Battery Widget

Another method for that is to add a battery widget. You can set your iPhone 13 to display the battery percentage on the Today View or on your Home Screen.

To add the battery widget to Today View, make sure your iPhone 13 is unlocked and open Today View by swiping right on the first page of your Home Screen. Now, scroll down and tap on Edit. Next, tap on the plus icon (+) at the top left. Find the Battery widget using the search bar and tap Add Widget.

Long press the widget, drag it to your desired location on the Today View page, and tap Done to save your changes.

Ask Siri to See Battery Percentage

Instead of looking for it yourself, you can ask Siri for help to display your phone's battery percentage.

You can go ahead and say "Hey Siri" followed by a question like "What's the battery percentage?". Siri will then respond with your iPhone 13's current battery level.

iPhone Charger Plug

The easiest way to see the battery percentage is to charge your phone. That way, you will be able to see the battery percentage on the lock screen.

Update to iOS 16

As explained earlier, Apple brought the battery indicator back to iOS 16, for that if you want to see the battery percentage, the last way you can do is update your iPhone to iOS 16.
